"It's a robust solution."
"It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"The data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"It improves the performance."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"I want the tool to continue with the on-prem version, not the cloud one."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
